They messed up the picture because those two kids were in the back with that face,”’ Sánchez told the Daily Mail. However, the nutrition student revealed the picture isn’t nearly as dramatic as it appears: Her boyfriend was tired because it was getting late and she was singing along to a song when the woman in front of them posed for a picture that they happened to be in the background of.
